Description

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew ('RBG Kew') intends to appoint a supplier for a period of up to 2 months with no option to extend. The supplier will provide sequencing services primarily for the Fungarium Sequencing project, but also for other projects using fungal whole genome sequencing approaches. The maximum possible value of work under this contract is £96,000 GBP excluding VAT. Services will be called off as needed and RBG Kew makes no commitment to any minimum level of spend. The Fungarium Sequencing project at RBG Kew aims at whole genome sequencing several thousands of fungi from a combination of fresh samples and mostly historical/ancient dried fungarium collections. Samples are mostly reference type specimens with very low DNA yield. Library preparation requires ancient DNA protocols. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
